## Description

Every WooCommerce store has a checkout page, but the default field set rarely fits
every business. NINJA Checkout Fields gives shop managers a clean admin screen (
under WooCommerce  Checkout Fields) where they can:

 * **Enable or disable** any standard checkout field (Billing, Shipping, Additional/
   Order).
 * **Mark fields as required or optional** — override WooCommerce’s defaults to 
   fit your workflow.
 * **Rename the label** shown to the customer, without editing template files or
   child themes.
 * **Set a placeholder** (hint text inside the input) per field.
 * **Reorder fields** with simple priority numbers or ▲/▼ buttons — lower priority
   = earlier on the form.
 * **Live preview** that shows the derived checkout layout — exactly what your customers
   will see — updating as you edit.

Everything is saved in a single WordPress option. No database tables, no rewrite
rules, and no external requests for managing your checkout (the only opt-in exception
is the “NINJA Updates” email subscription described below). Activate, configure,
done.

**Protected fields:** `billing_country` and `billing_email` can never be disabled
because WooCommerce requires them to complete order processing. The plugin enforces
this server-side regardless of what the admin UI sends.

**Reset:** One click restores the full WooCommerce default field set.

### WooCommerce integration

NINJA Checkout Fields declares HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage / Custom Order
Tables) compatibility and uses the standard `woocommerce_checkout_fields` filter
so it’s compatible with any WooCommerce version that exposes that filter (8.0+).
It does not modify database tables, templates, or core files.

### Stay updated (optional)

The admin screen has an optional “NINJA Updates” card: tick the consent box and 
enter your email to hear about plugin updates and new NINJA modules. It is entirely
opt-in — nothing is sent unless you submit that form — and you can unsubscribe at
any time with one click. This is the only feature that ever contacts an external
service.

## Installation

 1. Go to **Plugins  Add New**, search for “NINJA Checkout Fields”, and click **Install
    Now** — or upload the ZIP under **Add New  Upload Plugin**.
 2. Click **Activate**.
 3. Open **WooCommerce  Checkout Fields** in the admin menu.
 4. Enable, disable, relabel, reorder, and set placeholders as needed.
 5. Click **Save Changes**. Your checkout updates immediately.

WooCommerce must be installed and active. If it is not, the plugin shows an admin
notice and does nothing else.

## FAQ

### Can I disable the billing email or country?

No — and that’s deliberate. WooCommerce cannot process an order without those two
fields. The plugin protects them server-side; the UI makes it clear they’re required.

### Will this break my existing orders or customer data?

No. The plugin only affects the checkout form presented to new customers. Existing
orders are untouched. Overrides are stored as a single WordPress option, so you 
can reset at any time.

### Does it work with HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage)?

Yes. HPOS compatibility is declared and the plugin does not read order data at all.

### Does it make any external requests?

Not unless you ask it to. All checkout-field management runs entirely inside your
WordPress install. The single exception is the optional “NINJA Updates” card: only
if you tick its consent box and submit your email does the plugin contact ninja.
si to register your subscription. Leave it alone and nothing is ever sent.

### What happens if I deactivate the plugin?

The `woocommerce_checkout_fields` filter is no longer applied, so the default WooCommerce
fields come back immediately. Your saved configuration is preserved and restored
when you reactivate.
